From the funniest voice in young fiction today, the seventh in this irresistible series for young readers about imaginary friends in hilarious rhyming text and with adorable illustrations by Ella Okstad.

'In a change to our scheduled
programme tonight,
I proudly present,
for your joy and delight . . .'
